Record Partnership with ROXR/InPop Records!
Posted on October 3, 2011 with 2 commentsAs many of you know, I've been working really hard to finish up the new record. Throughout the process, we have been praying that the Lord would open the right doors to help us to release this record to a wider audience, and to enable me to minister more effectively. I'm happy to announce that He has made His plan clear to us, and it is very exciting. About 4 months ago I was contacted by the CEO of a new record company called ROXR, Kevin Gales. After much disscussion and prayer, we decided to enter into a partnership, and I officially signed with them.
One of the exciting things about this new label is that they are now partners with InPop records, which is home to some of the most successful, and well known Christian artists in the world including Newsboys, Jaci Velasquez, Matt Kearney, and Jimmy Needham! Needless to say, I'll be in great company. ROXR focuses on finding and developing new, fresh artists in the pop and rock genres. Andrew Patton, Inpop GM/VP said, "I'm excited to have the ROXR family join our Inpop family. We are in an expanding mode of operation within the label group, and are positioned well to not only continue the long, successful legacy of Inpop Records, but also to start to build a new level of artists and development."
ROXR/InPop is really in tune with what I feel the Lord calling me to do through my music ministry. "What I appreciate most about Raymond is his ability to move seamlessly between worship leader, and ace singer/songwriter," says ROXR CEO Kevin Gales. "These skills often oppose each other, but RG has this crazy knack of making them both equal and honest parts of what he does. Raymond is the real deal. ROXR/Inpop is pleased to welcome him to the family." While I am super excited to be releasing this record through them, I'm also very excited about is how supportive they are of the fact that I am a worship leader on staff at Harvest Christian Fellowship, and how important my church ministry is to me in addition to my recording ministry. It truly is a partnership that is of the Lord!
Stay tuned for a ton of new developments and announcements, and thanks for your prayers and support!
Raymond.
